VENTURA, CALIF. — Six more California condors bred in captivity will be released into the wild in December, officials said. The four females and two males will spend several weeks before their release in a man-made cave with a netted outdoor enclosure in the Sespe Condor Sanctuary about 75 miles northwest of Los Angeles, said Robert Mesta of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Scientists will monitor the young vultures closely for several weeks before their release, he said Friday.
